It is employed to deny statements, propositions, or questions, and is often used to emphasize the impossibility or non-existence of something. The variations "οὐκ" (ouk) and "οὐχ" (ouch) are used before words beginning with vowels or aspirated sounds, respectively.Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of Koine Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the time of Alexander the Great until the Byzantine Empire, "οὐ" was a fundamental part of negation in speech and writing. It was used in various contexts, from everyday conversation to formal philosophical discourse. In the New Testament, it serves to clarify theological truths and moral teachings by negating falsehoods or incorrect assumptions.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>3756 ou – no ("not"). <a href="/greek/3756.htm">3756</a> (ou) objectively negates a statement, "ruling it out as fact."
